Taff Vale Park is situated on the River Taff at the end of Nile Street in Treforest.[1] It was originally fields adjacent to the Taff Vale Iron Works[2] and was used by Pontypridd RFC who developed the site into a rugby ground playing there from the 1890–91 season until 1901 and again in 1907–08.[3] It was then used by schools between 1900 and 1927 after being purchased by the Pontypridd Urban District Council Education Committee.[4] Greyhound racing began in 1927 after the ground was sub-let to a greyhound company by the Athletic Club. It cost over £25,000 to convert the ground into a track, build kennels and improve the grandstand. Speedway followed in 1929 but the great depression ended the greyhound racing around 1932.[5] The site still remains in use as the home of the Pontypridd Junior Rugby Football Club.
